A climate education hub that will help young people across all educational settings turn their sustainability ambitions into action will be hosted by the University of Leeds.
The Climate Ambassador Scheme will provide nurseries, schools, colleges and universities across England with free access to local experts. To support the expansion of the scheme, nine regional hubs across England have been set up so that experts can be matched with education settings in their area.
The hub in Yorkshire and Humber will be hosted by the University of Leeds and led by Professor Amanda Maycock from the Institute for Climate and Atmospheric Science.
In an announcement at the World Education Forum in London, Secretary of State for Education, Gillian Keegan MP, called for 1,000 expert volunteers to join the government's national climate education programme.
Our staff and students have a real drive to help combat climate change and support climate education."
